Queen is fearless

Chapter 87 Who wins and who loses
Zhou Jing looked at Gu Jinzhi, and he could see joy and joy in her face and eyes.

Thinking of being in Meiyuan, Concubine Jingui asked himself how he was inferior to the queen, and he subconsciously opened his mouth without even thinking about it.

Does this mean that this is what he really thinks in his heart, that the Queen's position in his heart is already very important?
For a moment, Zhou Jing seemed a little confused, and was noticed by Gu Jinzhi.

Stretching out his hand and wrapping his arms around Zhou Jing's waist, Gu Jinzhi put his face on his chest and murmured, "Your Majesty, I am pleased with you."

Someone once said that in terms of love, whoever says he likes it first loses.

But in the current situation, Gu Jinzhi doesn't feel that she is the loser, on the contrary, she is the winner.

Zhou Jing's body froze slightly. He always knew that the queen had feelings for him, but it was the first time he heard her say it with his own ears.

For a moment, Zhou Jing felt a sour, sweet, indescribable feeling in his heart. He thought that he also liked the queen.

Stretching out her hand, Zhou Jing put her arms around Gu Jinzhi, bringing her closer to him. Gu Jinzhi felt relieved suddenly when he heard his steady heartbeat.

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager received the plum blossoms sent by Qingluan. Hearing that the Empress and Empress had folded them together, she was even more happy, and quickly ordered Mother Liu to find a vase to put them in.

Mingyue sat in the side hall of Yaohua Palace, thinking of what the emperor said when she was in the plum garden, her heart burned.

How many times has she fantasized that she can become the emperor's favorite concubine and be loved by the emperor, but now, she is confined in the Yaohua Palace, and she doesn't know when she will be able to go out?
Sighing, Mingyue felt that she had ruined a good opportunity. She leaned on the soft couch, played with the flute in her hand, and suddenly remembered what the queen said.

Earlier, from the queen's words, she clearly knew what the song she played meant, but she didn't say it.

Could it be that what I play is not, as people say, a song that prays for the curtain to be drawn by the heavens, so that my husband will love me?
Thinking of this, Mingyue frowned, she got up from the soft couch, and began to search.

She remembered that among the things sent from home before, she brought a few music scores. She was good at playing the flute, and they were all collected when she was at home.

After searching for a long time, Mingyue sat on the ground with a pale face.

"Concubine Dong! You are so cruel!" The one who gave the song to Mingyue was none other than Concubine Dong.

Knowing that she was able to see the emperor, Mingyue was full of joy, and had no doubts about the score given by Concubine Dong.

If she had known earlier that it was a song mourning her deceased husband, she would not have appeared in the plum garden today!
Fortunately, the empress did not expose her, otherwise, let alone her, the entire Xing family would be implicated!

It wasn't until this time that Mingyue finally understood how stupid her previous self was.

She stared blankly at the score, and suddenly burst into tears...

…………

"My lord, we're going to the capital soon." On the official road leading to the capital, the entourage on horseback reported to King Rui.

Behind them, followed a team, escorting a few boxes to be sent into the palace, which contained the annual gifts for the palace.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, since he is going to Beijing, he can't come empty-handed.

"En, hurry up and go to Beijing earlier." Responding, King Rui couldn't help frowning when thinking of the letter between the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

I don't know what the mother concubine is doing now, after all, it is not the same as before, I just hope that the mother concubine knows how to measure, and don't make any big troubles.

What King Rui didn't know was that Concubine Xing was ill at the moment, and Haoyue was always by her side.

Because of her illness, she ate very little every day, and she became haggard and lost a lot of weight.

Fortunately, Haoyue persuaded her, otherwise, she would eat less and her body would be weaker.

"That child Mingyue is too ignorant." Looking at Mingyue's exact face, Concubine Xing sighed, "I think I treat her well."

From being ill to now, the number of times Mingyue has come is limited.

A few days ago, I came once in a while, but these days, I can't see it.

Hearing what she said, Haoyue sighed in her heart, Concubine Xing didn't know that Mingyue was grounded, but she knew, Mingyue was too confused.

"Looking at your face, could something have happened?" After all, she is a concubine, she has been in the palace for many years, and she has the ability to read words and expressions.

"Don't worry, aunt, there's nothing wrong with you. Just rest easy and recuperate." Concubine Xing's health is not good, so it's better not to tell her about Mingyue's affairs.

"Even you want to hide it from me?" Frowning, Concubine Xing stared at Haoyue, "Tell me, what trouble did she get into?"

"aunt……"

"Say it!"

"Don't worry, aunt, I'll just say it." Seeing Concubine Xing's face turned pale with anger, Haoyue stopped hiding and told Concubine Xing about her grounding.

"This careless child!" After hearing Haoyue's words, Concubine Xing coughed angrily, her originally pale face was stained with a little blush because of the coughing.

Haoyue got up quickly, patted the back for her, and kept persuading her.

In her heart, she has a deep complaint against Concubine Dong. If it weren't for her, Mingyue would not be so confused, let alone be grounded.

"One by one, I don't want to let Bengong worry about it, and I am willing to make Bengong so angry!"

After a long time, Concubine Xing stopped coughing, took a sip of water, calmed down, and then slowly opened her mouth to speak.

In this short period of time, she seemed to have aged a lot, and Haoyue's heart felt sore seeing it.

"Don't worry, aunt, I will definitely find a way to save Mingyue." Long ago, she had completely broken with Mingyue, but she did that to protect the two of them.

However, Mingyue didn't understand her painstaking efforts, so that she fell into the current situation. If she wanted to rescue Mingyue, she could only rely on her.

"That's all." After waving her hands, Concubine Xing sighed, "It's good to let her settle down a bit, the situation of our Xing family in the palace... hey!"

Probably due to illness, Concubine Xing has figured out a lot of things. Today is no different than before. There is no place for her to talk anymore in the current harem.

After the new year, she will be kicked out of the palace by the Queen Mother. At that time, Haoyue and Mingyue will depend on each other's fate.

As long as the Xing family is still there, even if their life in the harem is difficult, it will not be difficult.

If one day, the Xing family is gone...

Concubine Xing didn't dare to think about it, she suddenly covered her face and began to cry, for the first time, she felt deep regret.

Haoyue stood aside, her eyes were sore, she blinked her eyes to blink back the tears.

No matter what, she has to live in the harem, whether it's for Mingyue or for the Xing family.

But, the road in front of me, how should I go on?
